Below is an example of the types of food we provide our destitute clients in a weekly food parcel. Challenge yourself to buy these items (they should cost between £5-10) and live for a week on only these items, and get people to sponsor you! If you don’t want to ask people to sponsor you why not donate what you would typically spend on food per week instead.

If you have any medical conditions we recommend speaking to your GP before undertaking the Hunger Challenge.
